More particularly, it will be noted that the members 27 and 28 are each chambered as at 32 to receive the magnet structures, the cores of which are connected thereto in any suitable manneras by screws 33. Attention is'here also directed to the fact that the exposed'portions of the screws 31 are housed in suitable non-magnetic bushings 34 extending through the pole faces 15` and 16 and the armature 17,-y It'willjals'o be .noted'thatfthe latter is connectedas by threading at`35 at a point substantially midway between the ends of the sleeve 18 and that the latter is also of non-magnetic material and herein also spaced from the frame -V members 27 and 28 and the pole'f'aces by bronze bushings 36. It will also be noted that themem-` ber 18 at one limit of its, trfavel abuts Y, against the adjacent end of the sleeve 10,while at its opposite end it is provided with a flange 37 threaded to an inner reciprocable actuating spindle or drawbar'f'Byalso hollow to permit passageV of the stockitherethrouzg/h, and having a portionlarger thanthe latter "spindle and .adaptedl to engage an abutment 39 on the outer spindle 5 'at one end of its'trfaveLj'and an abutmentA 40 on the member 27 atfthe opposite end of its travel. i

` "Thus i't'fwill "beevidentfthat depending upon the energizationof the coils 12, 13, the member 17 will bemoved reversely andcause the member 18 to moveto V*the leftA or the right in' Figure 2 in such manner as'to'causethe actuating spindle 38 tomove either'totheleft or to the right. Further, itl will be evidentthat'the stock will b e enabled i toremain in and be passed through the passage formed by the members "10, 18 and 38. "It will also, of course, be evident that'the members 18 and 38 will behfreely: reciprocabl'e' relative tothe bar stockl sothatfthe armature 17may be moved at any time to effect control of the {chuck asVv hereinaf'terdescribed.'' Y

operativelyv connected to "andv'actuated by the reversely reciprocablefactuating spindle'38 isimproved' chuck actuatingv mechanism.'k Herein, it willbe observed 'that the-'spindle 5 vis provided with a flange portion'50 `onitsend adjacent the chuck, and' that 'this portion has attached toy it as by screws51, 51a, Meco-operating head vmembers 52 and534 leo-operating; to presentv between the samefa chamber'54d forja lrotatable vmember.

which in turn actuates thejchuck'jaw's 3, Aas -hereinafter described. Moreover, it willbe noted that the member 38 has threaded' to its adjacent end a ,sleeve member of slightly largerexternal diameter thanthe member* 38 butho'f the same internal' diameter "as the latterand likewise adapted tov permit the passage of stock therethrough, while hereina'lso providedwith an" end socket 56. Q 'As' shown," this member 55 is provided with anysuita'ble series of angularlyl disposed slots v57,j-hereinthree, disposed at any suitable anglerelative tothe longitudinal axis thereof which fis' adapted to require the desired minimum of power-tov transform a longitudinal movement,v of themember 38 into a rotary movement lof thepins-extending into these slots. Herein the angleis 45 degrees, though obviously a greater A,or less angle maybe used if desired undery certain circumstances;` Herein it will also befnoted'that themember 54 is provided-with a hubportion 58 ttingtheexterior of themember 55 and having apertures,58dv carrying pins 59"extendin'ginto the slots'57.` More particularly, it -will be noted that tl'iseV VpinsV `59 have cutaway portions 60 disposedjon oppositesides of-'the same adapted to ,engager theI opposite wallsr ofthe-slots 57 and vwith a series of apertures 65 adapted to permit the same to moverelative to the screws 51 and `51b while the same is further provided with a peripheral portion 66 and a series of arcuate laterallyv projecting actuating portions 67 (Figure 5) disposed near its periphery between each adjacentpair 'of apertures 65. As shown, the member 52 is also provided with internal projections 68 and 69 adapted to locate the memb`er541for rotation relative to the same, and engageable with the opposite face ofthe member 54v from that carryingthe portion 67. `Herein also, it will be noted that'the jaws 3 are suitably connected as by screws 71 to-jaw. carryinghmember's 72 which in turn have disc-like apertures 73 in their opposite faces receiving discs 7,4 which in turn are provided with arcuate slots 75 receiving and traveling along relative to the arcuate projecting to permit the stock to pass therethrough,A is seated 1 in the aperture 56 in the member 55, and that this member is provided with apertures 77 permitting the inward and outward movement of the members 72, while the member 76 is suitably connectedas'at 78 to the member 53.7V Thus it will be evident that as the member 54 isrotated reversely, the` movement of the portions67 thereon lrelative to themember 74 will cause the jaws 3 to move in and out @Aelative to the work in a well known manner. Y f

Asregards the Voperation of the construction considered as a whole, it will be evident that the armature 17 may be reversely operated by the magnets vto effectopposite longitudinal movements of the member 38 which will, in turn, through the slot 57 in the member 55, effect opposite rotative movements of the member-,54. This will, in turn, effect corresponding movement of the jaws Sinto or out of gripping position. 'Thus it will be evident that a construction is produced in which the jaws are not only adapted to be closed by power, but also be opened by power with facility and certainty in-such manner as to eliminate any difficulty due to sticking to the work. The construction is-also adapted to'work requiring either power operated expanding or power operated contracting jaws, equal powerfor gripping beingavailable in either direction of jaw movement. Here,'of course, it

willrbe understood Vthat when it is desired-touse assaggi same time that `it rnadelpossi'ble toV use "an electricaliy .actuated 'chiick, i 'and fone, 4.of thegre'l versible type adapted :to asctu'ate the `jaws by power to :expand `or fcontiiactofdr -l'diferent `classes lof work, it `is also. made v.possible i towavoid Ithe .ne-

same time that difficulty due to vibrationA fof the spindle is minimized. ,It willalso be noted that the 'electro-,magneticmechanism is so arranged as `to be exceedingly compact, and Vis also such as to enable an 'exceedingly strong mechanism to be provided in a` relatively smallspace ,while utilizing electra-magnetic structures of standard 1 form. Attention is alsodirected to theffact that my improvedvconneotion `between the electromagnetic mechanismandgthe chuck; makes lit possible tto simplify thefconnections;`while my `improvedstructure of ,thechuck is not only such as to enable the same to befmadeeconomica-lly, but also such as to holdthejawsffrom slipping back and thus enablena substantialV saving in power as compared with those constructions whereinthe :pow-er hastol 7be on all the time `that the `jawsengage the work.
